We have recently seen a patient who developed Pneumocystis carinii pneumonia (PCP) in the course of treatment for chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL). This case showed uncommon pathological findings with extensive formation of granulomatous lesions. Despite advanced CLL associated with poor B-cell function, she responded well to anti-PCP treatment. In contrast to B-cell function, the T-cell functions were well preserved in vitro, and the numbers of peripheral CD4- and CD8-positive cells were normal, and T-cell functions were normal. These findings suggest that the production of granulomatous lesions to PCP may have been associated with the patients' immune status, and that it may constitute a good indicator in PCP infection in patients with underlying hematological malignancy.
